Brutal... because of one person...

What's the proof? Because one person had an account on all of the sites hit? That should narrow it down to about 50 million people, not just one.

Doesn't ring true. There must be more to the story.

Judging from the article, the attack seems to have consisted of requests for that specific user's page.
